You are right, there was almost no sex in the dorms then and very little outside. I think those days were protective and friendly and good for women myself. But I am old.
Three or even two generations ago many girls did not want to be known as “easy” or get pregnant outside of marriage. They wanted to be known as “good” girls. Marriage and family were the goal for most girls.
Now family is getting destroyed and virtue is sneered at, like on this thread.
People often think that the encroachment of immorality is inevitable and a good thing (more access for them, I guess). But it can and I am sure and certain will be turned around. People who act like sluts with no respect for themselves and others are miserable people and raise messed up kids (the ones they don’t abort). And then society has a huge underclass of feral humans who grow up without a stable family and married mother and father. It is ruining this country and others as well, like the UK.
For single white women between the ages of 20 and 24, the frequency of premarital pregnancies more than doubled from the mid-1940s to the mid-1950s.
